We are concerned about rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining and transactions, especially coal, which has the worst emissions of any fuel. Cryptocurrency is a good idea on many levels and we believe it has a promising future, but this cannot come at great cost to the environment. Tesla will not be selling any Bitcoin and we intend to use it for transactions as soon as mining transitions to more sustainable energy. We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that use <1% of Bitcoin's energy/transaction.\"\nMainstream investors and some corporate buyers including Tesla,Square,Metromileand Nexon haveflocked to bitcoin, viewing the digital currency as a potential inflation hedge while central banks print money to relieve coronavirus-distressed economies.\nMajor Wall Street banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have also sought to provide their wealthy clients with bitcoin exposure.\nBut some investors, like Softbank founder Masayoshi Son, still aren't buying in to the crypto craze.\n\"There's a lot of discussion over if it's a good thing or a bad thing, what's the true value or is it in a bubble. Honestly speaking, I don't know,\" Son said at a recentearnings conference.\nWhile Tesla said it would not accept bitcoin for vehicle purchases on Wednesday, Musk specified that Tesla plans to hold rather than sell the bitcoin it already has, and would be looking into other cryptocurrencies that require less energy for transactions.\nDuring the first quarter of 2021, Tesla bought $1.5 billion worth of \"digital assets,\" then sold $272 million worth. According to a financial filing from Tesla on April 26,profits from bitcoin salesspecifically allowed the company to notch a $101 million \"positive impact\" toward profitability.\nMusk has been a very public fan of bitcoin and dogecoin, tweeting and joking about these with his millions of Twitter followers over the past year.\nThis past weekend, the Tesla chief made his hosting debut on \"Saturday Night Live\" and devoted part of his opening monologue and one sketch to talking up dogecoin. Instead of helping drive up the price of the meme-inspired token, dogecoinactually tanked 30%over the course of the hour that Musk was hosting SNL.\nDuring a frenzied sell-off at that time, the popular trading platform Robinhood experienced an outage in its crypto trading.\nFollowing Musk's announcement on Thursday, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said that the team will continue to accept bitcoin and other crpytocurrencies because \"we know that replacing Gold as a store of value will help the environment.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":523,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":65,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"hasMoreComment":false,"orderType":2}
